Ich teste gerade #Ecosia statt #DuckDuckGo und was mich am Desktop etwas nervt ist die fehlende Option, die Suche und Suchergebnisse zentriert anzeigen zu lassen. DuckDuckGo kann das und auf meinen 21:9-Monitoren ist das deutlich bequemer.

Screenshot eines Browserfensters. Der Monitor hat ein Seitenverhältnis von 21:9. Zu sehen ist die Ergebnisseite der Suchmaschine Ecosia. Der Suchbegriff ist Suchmaschine. Die Suchergebnisse sind am linken Rand ausgerichtet.

Was trying a duckduckgo search for a restaurant in town, and I clicked on a link to read it, then came back to the search results. Suddenly a bunch of links disappeared and the first two links were now tripadvisor.

I selected hide site from these results and immediately a tripadvisor link from another url (different country) pops up. I kind of kept going and hiding about 15 results and new tripadvisor links kept popping up. This went on until "Search query entered was too long. Please shorten and try again."

So is this a bing-underneath thing, or direct enshittification of duckduckgo?

This is while using uBlockOrigin, but that didn't help, I didn't see any way that the ads differed from the normal links either.

Still Mad About CD Prices

dear #DuckDuckGo or other search engine: I want a little button next to every #search result that lets me exclude it from all search results for me, personally, forever. With an option to block the entire domain.

I'm definitely looking at #pinterest but there's just a lot of #AI slop out there. Tons of AI-generated websites. Even without the AI search "helper" things, I get a lot of shit that is just really low quality.

I don't think I see this witih DDG (there is a "give feedback" button with unclear effects on my personal search experience) and I'm not familiar with many other search engines now (except google and no). But if there's something out there that already has this functionality, I'll be happy to check it out and happy for the referral.

Holy shit, #DuckDuckGo has started showing (bad!) AI summaries for search results instead of excerpts from the page. #DDG results have been going downhill for a while, but this is just unusable.

(This is inherited from Bing. DDG once had its own search results, but has just been Bing for a while now.)

What are y'all using for search engines these days?

I just searched for "editor in chief" using @duckduckgo and look what it served me:

The first regular hit is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor-i. But the "quoted text" below it does not sound like Wikipedia at all:

> Learn about the role and responsibilities of an editor-in-chief, who is the editorial leader of a publication with final responsibility for its operations and policies. Find out how the term is used in newspapers, magazines, journals, and academic publications.

They are unable to give me a proper summary but serve me some uninformative vague "engaging" slop instead. #duckduckgo #slop
